Presenting the findings of a U.S. military investigation into the incident, U.S. Army Gen. John Campbell, who commands U.S. and allied troops in Afghanistan, said some of the Americans involved didn’t follow the rules of engagement. He said some of them have been suspended from their duties pending a disciplinary review.

During a press briefing on Wednesday, Gen. Campbell said the probe found “the personnel who requested the strike and those who executed it from the air did not undertake the appropriate measures to verify that the facility was a legitimate military target.”

So much for all the "there's Taliban there" crap.

Your experience in the rules of engagement obviously makes you an expert.

Don't need to be, the US military experts have weighed in. Vs all the CKA experts who were so sure that this was legit.

They'll get a slap on the wrist, if they get anything at all. The US seldom hands out serious discipline in these incidents.
